GAIL (India) Ltd. and Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (RRVUNL) have joined hands to optimise the operations of RRVUNL’s gas-based power plants in Rajasthan. A non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this was also signed.

“With an intent of optimising the operations of gas-based power plants in Rajasthan, RRVUNL and GAIL shall explore the possibility of transferring RRVUNL’s gas-based power plant located in Dholpur and Ramgarh in Rajasthan to a proposed Joint Venture Company (JVC) between GAIL & RRVUNL,” noted a statement issued by GAIL.

Further, both the parties will work together towards setting up around 1,000 MW of solar and wind projects in suitable land parcels, thus creating an opportunity for Round the Clock (RTC) power. “Detailed due diligence/feasibility studies for each project shall be carried out for establishing techno-commercial viability of the projects before forming JVC,” noted the statement.

GAIL through its natural gas pipeline network of around 1,090 km supplies gas to industrial customers in the catchment area of Bhiwadi, Neemrana, Khuskhera, Kota, Jaisalmer and Chittorgarh region in Rajasthan including Chambal Fertilizers and Shriram Fertilizers. “GAIL also supplies gas to 19 authorized City Gas Distribution entities in Kota, Bhilwara, Bhiwadi, Chittorgarh, Jodhpur and various other districts of Rajasthan to residential, commercial, small industrial and the transport sector for promoting green and clean energy,” mentioned the statement.
